Abstract
The relative fertility of the unaffected siblings of the Huntington's disease families of Tasmania (compared with that of the general population) is calculated to be 0.87. Evidence suggests that these people resolve to restrict their family size. Antenatal testing would allow them the freedom of choice regarding family size which the general population currently enjoys.
